It looks like I'm back to planning my own vacation. One of the cruise participants has gotten more serious with his girlfriend, and they booked a cruise together. I would go with them...except that my other two friends who showed interest back in December bailed. So not only would I have been the third wheel, I would have had to pay about $1000 for a private internal stateroom. That's way too much money for a cruise; at that price, there's a lot of other stuff I could do for a week.
So I'm now making my own vacation plans for either February or March. I could still end up going on a cruise -- but I'm also exploring other ideas.
